Jammu and Kashmir Budget Session 2025: Key Political Developments
For the first time in seven years, Jammu and Kashmir is set for a Budget Session, beginning March 3, 2025. Ahead of this, both the National Conference (NC) and the Congress are holding separate legislature party meetings in Jammu.
This will be the first budget under CM Omar Abdullah’s government, which took charge in October 2024. The session, spanning 40 days with 22 sittings, is expected to witness heated discussions.

The session is set to be politically charged, as leaders clash over governance, constitutional issues, and economic policies for J&K.
